POP Sandwich Pop-Up at Smart Bomb

Smart Bomb, a bi-monthly multimedia party held at Uptown Oakland’s Legionnaire Saloon (2272 Telegraph Ave.), is celebrating its two-year anniversary with its usual mix of cassette tape DJs, live music acts (headlined by Oakland rappers Jay Stone and Queens D.Light), art, and tasty street food. Oh, and about the food: Fans of POP Sandwich — the recently departed (i.e. San Francisco-bound) back-of-a-convenience sandwich pop-up — will be happy to hear that chef Ian De Leoz will back in Oakland that night to peddle his brilliant banh mi-inspired creations — probably his pork adobo and spicy chicken sandwiches, De Leoz said. There’s a $5 cover for Smart Bomb, but the pop-up will be set up on the sidewalk outside (starting at around 8 p.m., an hour before the event officially kicks off), so both partygoers and passersby will be able to get their sandwich fix.
